text: Even dilute sulfuric acid reacts with many metals via a single displacement reaction, like other typical acids, producing hydrogen gas and salts (the metal sulfate). It attacks reactive metals (metals at positions above copper in the reactivity series) such as iron, aluminium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and nickel.
  Concentrated sulfuric acid can serve as an oxidizing agent, releasing sulfur dioxide:
  Lead and tungsten, however, are resistant to sulfuric acid.
